Teachers' Multicultural Sensitivity Scale (TMSS): Survey Data from 599 Teachers

599 teachers participated in the development and validation of the Teachers' Multicultural Sensitivity Scale (TMSS). The dataset, authored by Shelanee Theresa P. Ruales and last updated in March 2026, contains survey data measuring cultural empathy, competence, and inclusiveness. It was validated through exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses across two studies.

Use Cases

• Validate psychometric scales based on the described three-factor model of cultural empathy, competence, and inclusiveness.
• Analyze correlations between multicultural sensitivity and other constructs like ethnocultural empathy or social dominance.
• Train models to predict teacher sensitivity scores based on survey response patterns.
• Benchmark multicultural sensitivity levels within specific educational contexts.

Strengths

• Dataset size is 140.1 KB, indicating a focused and manageable scope.
• Scale validation involved 599 total participants across two separate studies.
• The psychometric properties, including convergent validity and factor structure, were explicitly tested and reported.

Limitations

• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Data may reflect geographic or cultural bias inherent to the specific Asian country context mentioned.
